Abstract (en)

A radiation image information reading apparatus has a main assembly (26) which incorporates an exposure unit (30), an image information reading unit (32), an erasing unit (34), and a circulatory feed system (36). The image information reading unit (32) has an auxiliary scanning feed mechanism (46) for feeding a stimulable phosphor sheet (S) vertically in an auxiliary scanning direction, and a laser beam applying mechanism (48) for applying a laser beam (L) substantially horizontally to the stimulable phosphor sheet (S) which is being fed in the auxiliary scanning direction and scanning the stimulable phosphor sheet (S) with the laser bean (L) in a main scanning direction. The radiation image information reading apparatus is relatively simple in structure and small in size. <IMAGE>
